What should I do if the discussions contain offensive language?

Verbal abuse and spam have no place on our website. We are here for friendly conversations and having a good time. If you find offensive language in the discussions, do not hesitate to report this user. It's very simple:

Hover your mouse over the offensive comment

Click the gray triangle that appears to the right of the message

In the window that appears, click ""Report""

All done! If you don't see the user blocked right away, don't worry. We have a special system in place for counteracting violators. It is very complex and we keep it a secret so that violators don't learn how it works. Rest assured that all complaints are carefully processed and no offender goes unpunished. Also, you can always blacklist an unsavory user. They won't be able to send you messages, discuss your content, view your profile or send you gifts anymore. Learn how to do this here.

A discussion is missing. What should I do?

A discussion may be missing for several reasons:

If the discussed content (post, photo, video, topic, etc.) has been deleted

If you have hidden this discussion. In this case, it's very easy to restore it: just find the post, photo, topic or video you have discussed and click ""Comment"".

If the discussed content has been blocked by the Administration for some reason.

It is impossible to know for sure where the discussion went. All possible reasons are listed above and you may quickly guess what has happened to the discussion.

Comments are missing from a discussion. Why?

It's really simple:

the discussion owner, i.e. the user who has uploaded the discussed content or a group moderator, has deleted the comments. In this case, it can't be helped, as it is the wish of the content's author

Also, the comments may have been deleted automatically due to a number of reports on them or the user who left them. We are sorry, but these comments cannot be restored since OK thoroughly keeps order on the website and doesn't allow it to be broken

Or the website's Administration has blocked bad comments due to violation of the rules. And again, they cannot be restored. Rules are rules

In any case, the missing comments cannot be restored. The only exception is if the author of the comment has been temporarily blocked (and all his/her information has been ""hidden"" from the website). If the user restores his/her profile, it will resume its natural course and the comments will appear again.

How do I prevent my photos/posts/statuses/etc. from being discussed?

Only group administrators or moderators on the website can prevent specific topics from being commented on. However, there is a way out:

in ""Privacy settings"", you can prevent people who are not your friends from leaving comments in the ""Personal photos"" album. Just check the ""Only friends"" box next to the ""Comment on my personal photos"" line. Please note that this setting is applicable to one album only, which is called ""Personal photos"". But you can just upload the photos here that are not to be discussed with other people, and everything will be OK!

In ""Privacy settings"", you can make your photo albums and videos available only to your friends or certain categories of friends as well. Then only a restricted number of people will be able to view and comment on them.

Finally, you can blacklist unwanted users, and they won't be able to view or comment on your information.

This is how you can restrict the discussion of your photos, posts or videos by making some changes to the settings.
